Spotted from gis.stackexchange: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/131765/ogr-dxf-closed-polyline-conversion
The DXF driver documentation claims that closed polylines from DXF are converted into polygons but that does not seem to happen. By comparing the DXF snipped from stackexchange ENTITIES 0 LWPOLYLINE 5 20000 8 0 100 AcDbEntity 100 AcDbPolyline 70 1 90 4 with a DXF specification http://www.autodesk.com/techpubs/autocad/acad2000/dxf/lwpolyline_dxf_06.htm I can read that LWPOLYLINE [code 70] is defined with flag 1 [closed]. But could someone interpret what does it mean in GIS context? Should a closed CAD polyline be translated into LINEARRING or POLYGON in WKT? -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
